Miss Mu and the Canary

"Miss, this is the fifth time that Ms. Li has called. Are you really not answering..." There are seven other calls from Wang Sanshao, and they all refuse to answer without exception. This has never happened before. .

Fu Guang stood at the door of the room tremblingly, really wondering what happened.

"No, hang up." Mu Xing read the book without raising his eyelids.

Shaking his head to Jing Ye who was standing downstairs in the living room answering the phone, the floating light became even more trembling, and he didn't dare to make a sound when he walked, lest the young lady suddenly lose his temper.

In fact, when he hung up the phone for the fifth time, Mu Xing's anger had almost dissipated.

All that remains is endless dullness and powerlessness.

She even thought for a moment that what happened last night was a dream, because she really felt that it was so unbelievable that she couldn't believe it was real.

However, just after eight o'clock, Wang Mengwei and Li Yining made several phone calls one after another as if they had made an appointment, forcing her to face the fact that her best friend, together with her fiancé, had lied to her.

They don't even know her as well as Mr. Xia and Mr. Liu!

Although Mr. Liu must have had an impure purpose in saying this on an occasion like last night, at least they all knew that she absolutely could not tolerate deception.

Yet they chose to lie to her.

"Little Miss..." Fu Guang knocked on the door shyly, "You can go downstairs to have breakfast, do you want me to change your clothes?"

Sighing, Mu Xing closed the book: "No need, I can do it myself." She no longer wanted to appreciate the fashion of the high-necked cheongsam.

Putting on a simple checkered skirt, she opened the drawer of the dressing table, intending to take a Kun watch and put it on.But when she reached out, she came across a box hidden deep in the drawer.

Take it out and see that it is a very simple sandalwood jewelry box.

Nowadays, all kinds of velvet boxes and glass boxes are popular for gift giving, but such boxes full of ancient flavors are rare.

The outside of the box is engraved with the pattern of double lotus, and in the middle is a pattern of bunches of grapes. The branches and leaves are spreading and the fruits are abundant, which means the long-term descendants and the prosperity of the family.

Mu Xing slowly opened the box and took out a pair of jade bracelets inside.

This was a gift from the Song family to her when they were engaged.

Back then when she was young and very active, the bracelet was empty when she put it on, and she put it away for fear of breaking it.The size is right now, but such a reserved accessory doesn't suit her anymore.

Perhaps it was disproportionate from the start.

Because he hadn't figured out how to tell his parents about Song Youcheng, in order not to let his parents see it, Mu Xing had no choice but to put on a cheerful smile when eating breakfast.As soon as I returned to my room after breakfast, I immediately felt desolate and heartbroken.

She was sitting in a daze when suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Ah Xuan, am I coming in?"

Mu Yun walked in, saw her gloomy look, felt distressed immediately, and said bitterly: "I'll go and beat up Song Youcheng now, and then I'll catch you and apologize to you!"

As he said he was about to go out, Mu Xing quickly pulled him back: "Forget it, I'm afraid you will be beaten up first, forget that I rescued you when you fought at school before?"

Mu Yun could only sit down: "Then what are you going to do now?"

"Announce the engagement." Mu Xing said, "I must annul the engagement."

Mu Yun nodded, filled with righteous indignation: "Brother supports you, you must retire the engagement, how can a girl from my Mu family suffer this kind of bullying, Song Youcheng, a bastard, I will go and talk to my aunt later..."

"But it's not about retiring now." Mu Xing said again.

Mu Yun almost bit his tongue: "...why?"

Mu Xing shook his head: "You are really a model of 'only reading sage books', you didn't hear your mother tell my mother two days ago that the old lady of the Song family is not in good health, it is too inappropriate to say it at this time. "

Mu Yun frowned: "But the old lady is not in good health, and the marriage must be done in a hurry. In a few days, I will go to Song's house to make a date. What are you going to do?"

After thinking about it, Mu Xing was also very worried.

Mu Yun said again: "Actually, anger is anger. I think you still have to talk to Song Youcheng to communicate. You see, he said that he wanted to retire yesterday when he came up. Of course, I'm not speaking for him. If he just went to For fun, there is really no need to propose a divorce by yourself. I think he must have encountered something. "

In fact, Mu Xing also wanted to have a talk with Song Youcheng, but definitely not now - she was afraid that she would fight Song Youcheng in public, it would be too unbearable.

"Forget it, let's talk about it." Mu Xing said, "You should go and read the books. I remember that the Union Medical College has an exam in July. Although you can definitely pass the exam, you have to be No.1 no matter what. Get in."

"Of course." Mu Yun said, "You can't lose face of the Mu family. It's just...ah, Ah Xuan, I thought it was a pity that you are going to get married this year. Otherwise, with your ability, you will definitely be able to pass the test went in."

Mu Xing was taken aback.

She and Mu Yun studied medicine in the United States, and both obtained a bachelor's degree. Mu Yun came back to study for a doctorate at Union Medical College, and she returned to China to get married... She seems to have never thought about this possibility.

She thought her new life started with the marriage of Minkang Hospital and Song Youcheng, but now that she doesn't need to get married...

"No, I have to think about it," Mu Xing said.

Mu Yun just said it casually, seeing that she took it seriously, he hurriedly said: "I heard from my uncle that Peking Union Medical College is very hard, and besides the three years of preparatory studies, I have to study for another five years. I am a man, so it is naturally exhausting." I'm afraid my aunt won't let you read it."

"I don't need to think about it. I have to do what I want to do. The only thing that needs to be considered is whether I want to do it or not." Mu Xing said seriously.

After watching Mu Yun go away, Mu Xing, who had just made bold words, fell into depression again.

It was the first time she experienced a problem involving love, and she couldn't figure out how to deal with it, and she didn't know how she should feel.

She's angry, pissed off, hurt...but doesn't seem to be devastated by a broken love, as is often the case in novels.It's not like "The Romance of the West Chamber", which is "a lot of hatred and worries", nor is it like "Romeo and Juliet", which is crazy and heart-piercing.

She couldn't figure out what kind of feeling this was, and she couldn't tell who she was more angry with.

After pondering for a long time, there was no gain, and the sun was so hot, she simply changed into a double-breasted suit, used pomade to smooth her hair neatly, and then went out secretly.

She went to the mansion of Mr. Lushui, a fake half-immortal, at the first stop.

Mr. Lushui has a deep friendship with the Mu family, so she can drive straight in without making an appointment, and sit directly in front of Mr. Lushui.

Mr. Lushui is more than sixty years old, and he has the temperament of an outsider all over his body.He sat on the huanghuali chair, smiled and said, "Little friend Xuanji, how are you doing?"

"Old man, what do you mean by the divination you gave me last time?" Mu Xing said viciously, "I have only returned to China for six days, my forehead was bruised, I was almost hit by a car, and now my engagement has been annulled! You say, Did you do something wrong?"

An expert is an expert, and Mu Xing is so rude, Mr. Lu Shui is also indifferent: "This, isn't it just a verification of the hexagram that the old man gave the little friend?"

Mu Xing rolled his eyes in a rare way regardless of his image: "Don't pretend, since you took me a piece of Yuan Datou back then, you helped me lie to my mother, saying that if you don't let me go out to play, it will be difficult to support me. If you say so, I will I don't want to believe a word!"

Mr. Lushui kept smiling: "I have no impression of this matter."

Mu Xing gritted his teeth: "Then tell me clearly, what's going on this time? My mother is afraid to let me go out now!"

"The secret must not be leaked." After a pause, Mr. Lu Shui said again, "The reincarnation of cause and effect, the fruit, little friend Xuanji has already planted it, and only by following the 'cause' can the cause and effect be fulfilled. And this reason, little friend already knows , don’t need to repeat the old man.”

"I already know?" Mu Xing sneered, "What do I know? The only thing I know is that you are a liar!"

She angrily picked up the tea that the servant had served her for a while, and drank it all in one gulp.

"I see you here, only this Liu'an tea is real!" Putting down the cup, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief gracefully: "Where did you buy it?"

Mr. Lushui took out a tin box from the drawer: "It was harvested before the Grain Rain last year. It is in very good condition. The old man just received one tin a few days ago. The others were sent to your father yesterday. This box is reserved for you." For you, I will have someone send it to your residence in a while."

"Thank you." Mu Xing raised his brows with joy, made a pretentious bow, and walked away.

Mr. Lushui watched her leave, smiled and shook his head: "It's still so stupid."

Mu Xing got a new box of Lu'an Melon Chips. Mu Xing's gloomy mood improved a little, so she planned to let Fu Guang send a painting collected in the United States to the old god stick. She was thinking about it when she suddenly caught a glimpse of A touch of familiar red.

…Um?

Is it the beauty I met yesterday?

Before she could turn the corner in her heart, she had already lifted her heel up.

Why follow her?Mu Xing didn't want to understand, nor did he intend to think about it.

Maybe it was because she was too free, maybe the fake Suzhou dialect was too interesting, or maybe it was because the red was so red that she had to move forward.

People come and go on the road, the red is faint and indistinct, and it will disappear if you don't pay attention.She stared at the red figure all the way, but she didn't know that others were also staring at her.

The red figure disappeared into the flower shop at the intersection, she hurriedly ran over, and was about to turn the corner, when she suddenly realized that a group of female students followed her around.

As soon as Mu Xing turned his head, the female students suddenly burst into laughter, circled together, and whispered for a long time, one of the female students walked straight in front of Mu Xing, and said straight to the point: "Hello, classmate, I am a student of Allen Girls School, Our school is about to hold a ballroom dance, may I ask which school you are a student from? Can I invite you to come and dance together?"

The female students behind laughed louder and louder.

So he took her for a man?

Since he was a child, Mu Xing liked to play around with his brothers. For the convenience of movement, he also wore men's clothing. He was used to things like being misunderstood about his gender.

She smiled slightly at the girl: "Thanks to classmate's kindness, I dare not refuse, but I don't know if two girls can dance together in your school's party?"

"...Huh?" The female student was stunned, and the students behind her were also stunned, staring at Mu Xing.

Before the girls could react, Mu Xing said goodbye, turned around and took a few steps to hide in the flower shop beside him, avoiding the shouts behind him, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look for someone.

This flower shop is quite large, with stylish decoration, and to keep the flowers fresh, they put a lot of ice cream to cool down, so the temperature in the shop is a bit low.The floral fragrance is striking, refreshing and comfortable, very pleasant.

After dismissing the clerk, she turned around in a hurry, and finally saw the red in the gap of a flower stand, which was particularly dazzling in the lush green.

Overjoyed, Mu Xing stepped over in a few steps.

"This lady—"

However, after seeing the face on the red cheongsam clearly, Mu Xing gasped, and the words in his mouth made a sharp turn, almost knocking her out of consciousness: "...Excuse me, how do I get to Huai'an Road?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she regretted them.

Isn't the street you're standing on Huai'an Road!

The strange elder sister who was looking at the flowers took a look at Mu Xing, probably thinking that she was a little red guy who used boring excuses to strike up a conversation, turned around and left in disgust.

"...Well, cough." Mu Xing wiped his hair, pretending that nothing happened, and was about to walk back when he suddenly noticed a man next to him.

This young man also has a neat suit and a meticulous hairstyle, which can be seen from others.His thick eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his face was sad. When he met Mu Xing's gaze, he smiled immediately, walked over a few steps, and said politely, "Sir, do you know how to get to Huai'an Road?"

Mu Xing: "... Huh?"
